Three of the 5 cars were on NC craigslist 12 months ago, you can still see the article on Barnfinds. I think, though I have no proof, the guy is legit - I spoke to him briefly by email and he didn't raise any flags with me. I felt 40k for something I couldn't inspect was way too much and that seems to be born out by the fact that it hasn't sold after nearly 4 months.
